Story Behind The Song
Baking Sugar Cookies for Santa is a heartfelt holiday song inspired by flour-dusted aprons, laughter in the classroom, and the simple joy of baking with students. Whether it's from a kitchen stove in the staff room or as simple as an Easy Bake Oven in the classroom, this song celebrates the warmth of togetherness, and the magic of hands-on holiday traditions shared in schools.
Over the years, the song has taken shape in many variations, but it always felt right with an ol' country song feels, wrapped in melody and meaning. Each verse brings to life the sights, smells, and sounds of the season: cookie cutters in dough, sprinkles like falling snow, and the joy of preparing something special for Santa, and for the people we love.
So, enjoy the song, sing along with your class or family, and don't forget to leave a few sugar cookies tucked under the tree... for Santa, or someone special who needs a little holiday cheer.

Music and Lyrics by Joseph Vetro
Chorus:
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me,
Baking sugar cookies for my family.
Can't resist--mmm, this tasty treat,
Baking sugar cookies for Santa to eat.
Verse 1
I've got flour on my hands, love in my heart,
Baking each cookie--a work of art.
Mixing laughter with holiday cheer,
A yummy recipe to share throughout the year.
Chorus:
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me,
Baking sugar cookies for my family.
Can't resist--mmm, this tasty treat,
Baking sugar cookies for Santa to eat.
Verse 2
Got my cookie cutters, roll out the dough,
Reindeer-shaped shortbread cookies steal the show.
Shake a little sugar--fallin' like snow,
Frosted snowman, ready to go.
Chorus:
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me,
Baking sugar cookies for my family.
Can't resist--mmm, this tasty treat,
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me.
Bridge
Mixing up the frosting--yummy and sweet,
Baking each cookie--a holiday dream.
Colorful sprinkles--red, green, and white,
Baking sugar cookies for Santa's big night.
Chorus:
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me,
Baking sugar cookies for my family.
Can't resist--mmm, this tasty treat,
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me.
Baking sugar cookies,
Baking sugar cookies,
Baking sugar cookies--
Tuck them under the tree.
Verse 4
Snow is falling--Christmas Eve,
Leave a plate of cookies for Santa to eat.
A warm cup of cocoa--how happy he'll be,
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me.
Chorus:
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me,
Baking sugar cookies for my family.
Can't resist--mmm, this tasty treat,
Baking sugar cookies for Santa and me.
Baking sugar cookies,
Baking sugar cookies,
Baking sugar cookies--
Tuck them under the tree.
